I probably won't be blogging here any more.
I have another blog that's more crafty related than anything http://jessysdolls.blogspot.com/
and then a baby related blog http://jessysdolls.com/baby

WE'RE HAVING A BOY!!! We're really excited but I have to admit I was really surprised. Not that I didn't want a boy or anything - are you kidding? - as long as we waited (8 years) - there's no way we would be picky. I just always pictured a girl and when they told us it was a boy, I was like, "really??? Whoa." So yeah, advice is welcome.

Oh and for anyone who cares, here's some of my inspiration for our baby room. I'm so excited!

Soooooo. Pregnancy. It makes you mean. Poor Luke. Pray for him. That's all I'm going to say about that.

I entered an ad building contest the paper I work for puts out every year at our annual conference in Ocean City. This year I entered 3. I didn't win first, second or third with any of them. I tried not to make them too edgy or grungy (like I like), but I was still a big fat looser. (I really wanted that $200) So here are my 3 non-winners...

Maybe a little boring but I'm sorry, Streamers is a totally cute name for a party store.

My boss' last name is Bowen. This may look familiar to some. I took the idea from a flyer I made.

Recognize the gal in this ad?

So what do you think? They're not too horrible right?

Hopefully I can get my hands on a copy of the ads that did win to show you....

Yeah, that's right.

I've been feeling like I need a pair of faux zebra skin flats.

Halloween 2007

Once again my coworkers and I went all out. This year we did a garden theme. We stayed up late making props (huge cardboard flowers, clouds, stone path, etc.) Our department won second place, which was cool, but since we are the creative department, it always hurts a little to not be number 1.

I covered Luke's Homer Simpson slippers with black socks and kneeled on them to look little. How smart and I? I won second place for most creative costume so that's cool. I still don't know what I've won.

Yes, there is a guy under the leaves. Somehow we convinced him to be a leaf pile...

Trunk Show Fun

This is a little late - but here are some great photos Darrell took of our Trunk Show the other night. My fellow Wilmington Craft Mafia members and I had a great time selling our wares on Main Street in Newark. It was tons of fun and Mimi of Bloom was so cool to host us. If you missed it, don't worry, we'll be around....terrorizing your town...

Erica of Anneliese & Jen of Tilting Swiftly

and of course me and my friend Rose of Breyla.com

I went to Colorado (again) and it was even more incredible than before. I actually got that, "I could live here" feeling - but don't worry Mom, we're not going anywhere.

I love hiking, I mean LOVE it. We did 5 miles the first day and 10 miles the second day. I was so proud of myself. I kind of lost my spunk that last mile though, and when we reached the shuttle bus stop that was supposed to take us to our car, we noticed there was a big anti-shuttle bus sign that said "see ya next spring". Great. So yeah, we hitch-hiked...I humbly stuck out my thumb...and we got a ride...from a stranger...it was awesome.

Gearing up for Fall

The WCM is getting ready for the Trunk Show on the 28th and I hope that all of my fellow member's progress is going much smoother than mine!Behold....the craft explosion. At least there is only one empty cup of coffee on the table - yesterday there were four. Nice.
